A note from the author

HackerMojo.com is using a fluid layout based upon work by Dave Reeder. I'm trying to take CSS a little more seriously; but I'm having a hard time because of all of the bad syntax, browser compatibility hacks, and non-fluid layouts. If any of the other technology I used were like CSS, I'd have to set myself on fire and jump off of a cliff.

This is a really great artists visualization of invisible magnetic fields. The combination of voice-overs, random lab footage and animation creates an effect that is creepy and wonderful at the same.

Economy versus Broadband -- Fight!

posted: 2008-07-07 23:04:35

Designer Clouds

Test driving DropBox

posted: 2008-05-01 01:03:00

Just got my DropBox account set up. For those not familiar, it is versioned storage that you can just mount on any of your machines. Instant synchronization, and versioning. Behind the scenes I think it is just svn, macfuse, and growl, but having such a simple interface is very nice. ...
